Rumble!

With a dull thud, most of the city wall of Xiaguan collapsed.

Meanwhile, the 31st and 61st Infantry Divisions of the Dagan Army, located outside Xiaguan City, also launched an attack on Xiaguan City.

"Charge!"

"Kill them!"

Loud battle cries echoed across the wilderness. A massive, dark army surged towards Xiaguan City.

Upon seeing this, the expression of Yamashita Yukifumi, the garrison commander of Shimonoseki, changed drastically.

"Baka! Baka yarou!"

Yukifumi Yamashita cursed repeatedly, his eyes practically spitting fire.

He knew that the Da Gan Army's firepower was too fierce, and if he simply huddled in Xiaguan City, he would probably be blown to bits by the Da Gan Army's artillery fire.

No!

We can't just sit here and wait to die!

Thinking this, Yukifumi Yamashita shouted, "Follow me and charge out! Face the mighty army! Charge! Kill the chickens!"

"Kill the chicken, please!"

Yamashita Yukifumi's battle cries also ignited the fighting spirit of the Japanese defenders inside the castle. Under Yamashita Yukifumi's leadership, the fear in the defenders' hearts eased slightly, and they rushed out as well.

"Kill the chicken, please!"

Countless Japanese soldiers charged towards the Da Gan Army amidst the artillery fire.

The two sides are moving in opposite directions at an extremely high speed!

This scene was also witnessed by Zhao Xun, the commander of the 31st Infantry Division.

"Oh?"

Zhao Xun sneered and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect these Japanese garrison soldiers to be so fearless."

"hehe!"

The chief of staff beside him sneered and said, "Since they're not afraid of death, then let's grant their wish! Let's show them what we're capable of!"

"Fire!"

As the distance between the two sides closed, a battalion commander shouted loudly.

Da da da!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the open field, the machine guns and rifles of the soldiers of the 31st Infantry Division opened fire almost simultaneously, mowing down a large number of Japanese soldiers.

It was like a giant, invisible scythe of death, reaping the lives of the Japanese soldiers in the wilderness.

Those Japanese soldiers, charging recklessly with their flesh and blood, were met with a barrage of bullets as soon as they reached the firing range of the Da Gan Army.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Countless bullets pierced through flesh and blood, leaving clusters of blood blossoms flying in the air.

In just a short time, the ground was littered with the corpses of nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers!

And the entire army has not suffered any casualties!

The Japanese soldiers stationed behind the lines, including their commander Yamashita Yukifumi, were completely terrified. They had never seen anything like it; it wasn't war anymore, but a bloody slaughterhouse!

And they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in a slaughterhouse!

A thick stench of blood filled the air. Comrades who had been unharmed moments before were reduced to a rain of blood. This horrific scene left the surviving Japanese soldiers pale and trembling.

"Charge! Charge now!"

With a furrowed brow, Yukifumi Yamashita roared, "Kill the chicken, please!"

However brave the soldiers defending Xiaguan City were, their attacks appeared powerless and futile in the face of the overwhelming onslaught of the main force.

As if they had crashed into an invisible steel wall, the attacking Japanese soldiers were smashed to pieces, their heads bleeding and their flesh mangled!

In just a quarter of an hour, the ground was littered with the corpses of more than two thousand Japanese soldiers.

Upon witnessing this scene, the remaining soldiers were so terrified that they could no longer hold their samurai swords.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Da da da!

The dense sound of bullets, like a deadly note that shatters the soul, sent chills down the spines of the remaining Japanese soldiers.

Seeing the corpses piled up like mountains before them, the remaining soldiers began to retreat and flee in fear.

Soon, the rout was completely unstoppable.

Even Yukifumi Yamashita, who had previously displayed the same fierce and aggressive spirit, began to retreat.

However, Xiaguan City was already in ruins.

Even if they were to retreat, where could they possibly retreat to?

As the Japanese soldiers began to retreat, Zhao Xun, commander of the 31st Infantry Division, sneered and said, "Do you think you can just come and go as you please in front of our mighty army?"

"Pass down the order: all troops, launch an attack!"

As Zhao Xun's orders were relayed, the soldiers of the 31st and 61st Infantry Divisions in the wilderness launched a general offensive toward Xiaguan City.

The city walls of Xiaguan had already been severely damaged by the previous fierce bombardment by naval guns. The defending troops inside the city were terrified.

Facing a general offensive by two infantry divisions with more than 20,000 men, the Da Gan Army had already stormed into Xiaguan City in less than half an hour.

Even if these garrison soldiers wanted to rely on the houses to resist the large army, it was all in vain.

"Report—"

A samurai rushed up to Yukifumi Yamashita and said urgently, "General, the Great Kan army has already reached Hachiman Shrine!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this news, Yukifumi Yamashita's expression changed drastically.

Hachiman-gu Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Amaterasu Omikami in Shimonoseki Castle. It's not far from where Yamashita Yukifumi is.

It is estimated that the entire Xiaguan city will fall in less than fifteen minutes.

Thinking of this, Yamashita Yukifumi gritted his teeth and roared, "Baka! Baka! Why doesn't Amaterasu protect our Japanese army? How dare she let these foreigners invade our Shimonoseki Castle! Amaterasu!"

However, no matter how much Yukifumi Yamashita roared, it did not change the situation in the slightest.

Before long, the gunshots in the distance grew louder and louder.

Yukifumi Yamashita could even see soldiers in military uniforms rushing towards them at the end of the street, guns in hand.

"Baka!"

Yukifumi Yamashita cursed, drew his katana, and gripped it tightly. He grinned menacingly, raised his katana, and roared—

"Kill the chicken, please!"

Immediately, Yamashita Yukifumi charged towards the large army opposite him.

Yukifumi Yamashita was born a samurai, and even in death, he wanted to uphold the samurai spirit!

However, before Yamashita Yukifumi could get close to the Daigan Army, bullets began to whiz through the air.

Pfft! Pfft!

The bullet pierced Yamashita Yukifumi's chest and neck, and blood gushed out. Yamashita Yukifumi felt his legs go weak, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

A thick, warm liquid spread from his chest throughout his body. Yamashita Yukifumi was stunned for a moment, realizing that he was about to die.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Yamashita Yukifumi saw fully armed soldiers of the Da Gan Army pass by him and quickly occupy the entire Shimonoseki city.

In the distance, at the garrison commander's residence in Xiaguan City, a huge dragon flag of the Great Gan Kingdom slowly rose, fluttering in the sea breeze.

Yukifumi Yamashita blinked, his gaze gradually unfocusing, and the last vestige of his life completely vanished...
